i wish sks' were still dirt cheap, dope ass rifle but unless you get lucky and some boomer doesnt know what he has theres nothing an ak doesnt do better
Thanks for the blog post
>>65125957How cheap would it have to be for you to consider it cheap? I see them going for South of $400 all the time now that ammunition has gotten scarce.
>>65125957I just shit myself. I thought it was going to just be a fart, but a mucousy discharge shot out and now I have to watch my sheets.Tomorrow. I'm just going to sleep in it tonight since I already showered.
>>65125957Fuck yamudda
>>65125957>He didn't get one when they were under $200suck to suck
there is something about these carbines when you hold them that feels right
>>65126217>20 round magnasty, put factory mag back on
>>65126244i actually did, i came to the same conclusion
>>65126244>>65126247Is this an aesthetics issue and/or a reliability issue?
>>65125957SKS marginally outshoots an AK but it's better for the job of the mini-14 as designed than almost anything else including AK.Should have been the Eastern US farm rifle.
>>65125957Expect their price to rapidly rise yet again now that an FRT exists for them.https://texastriggerusa.com/product/norinco-sks-7-62x39-frt/
>>65126249Everything about SKS's these days is about aesthetics.
>>65127007Always has been, except when it also was about the price.
>>65127007>aestheticsThe recoil impulse of 7.62x39 in gun with a full wood stock and milled receiver is exquisite.
Honestly, I'd been collecting for almost 20 years before I finally bought an SKS. It's a pile of shit, but it's an awesome member of the collection
>>65127068A guy I became range buddies with brought his for me to try out, it was a hunk of shit, worst trigger reset out of all the sks I've shot.
>be SKS>designed to be the perfect WW2 infantry man rifle based on every lesson learned from the war>war ends before you see a single day in the field>that's okay, you'll be ready for the next one>Kalashnikov invents your replacement like two years later >kept around for a bit while they workout the kinks>replaced before seeing any real action>shoved into a warehouse for decades "just in case">"just in case" never happens, get sold for pennies >if you're really unlucky you'll end up with some fat middle aged man who puts you in a shitty plastic stock and have some weird railed dust cover put on for a Walmart scope>best case scenario you end up with some slavaboo autist who treats you like a holy relic
>>65125957One thing they do better than AKs is being legal to own in Canada
>>65125957I just find them to be more enjoyable shooters. AK is fine but I enjoy my SKS more
>>65125957They make great night sticks
>>65127109they were largely used by the NVA tho
>>65127105Albanian SKS? The quality control on mine is awful, but that's what happens when people who thought the USSR wasn't "real" communists decide to make guns...so mine was made by an illiterate brown retard who was probably fucking drunk on the job lol
>>65126249both. My russian SKS works fine with the chinese 20 round fixed mag but it's two different country parts so I assume the 20 rounder won't be as reliable in the russian
>>65127138are they cheaper in canada? im only a 2 hour drive from the border so id totally go up there for a cheap sks if it wouldnt be too difficult to bring it back with me
>>65125957>dope ass rifleThey are what they are creaply made relatively crude conscipt rifles and are not 'dope' certainly not at their current prices, neither were the vast majority of them ever particularly good guns just cheap. Societ quality assurance was what it was and the firing pin channel designs flaws is a consequence. You got to see the ones that had alreay been sifted through that worked/somewhat worked.
>>65127217The NVA also got absolutely gang raped with casualties. What's your point there? That it was a rifle for expendables in meat waves?
>>65127735that the SKS had not been issued to regular combat troops
What is the modern-day equivalent to an SKS?
>>65127846Ive been laughing at this pic for like 10 mins lmaooooo wtf
>>65127862You don't remember that episode where Cookie brings a gun to school?
>>65127217True, I mostly had Russian SKS's in mind, iirc there wasn't really any war where Russians used the SKS as a standard issue rifle.Also the Chinese used them a lot in the Sino-Vietnamese war
>>65125957there's nothing ak does that an AR doesn't do better either
>>65126244>>65126247Agreed. Nothing beats the 10 box. Except maybe the SkS-M (D).
>>65127068>Albanian >my unicorn>shitWell, great. Now I have to reevaluate my life goals.
>>65127846A PSA kitbashed AR-15.
>>65127926>A PSA kitbashed AR-15.>blem discountFtfy.
>>65125957They were $200 20 years ago. They're like 500-700 now, which is consistent with inflation. The real issue is you are poor and don't grasp how horrific our inflation really is. A $500 item is in fact "cheap."
>>65128262>They were $200 20 years agoThey were like $80 20 years ago, they were $200 about ten years ago.
>>65127846
>>65127725damn who shat in your cheerios, a gun doesnt have to be practical to be cool, ar15s are practical but boring meanwhile lever actions are the dopest of all guns but theres a reason no lilitary has used them in over a century
>>65128266>$80 20 years agoNTA Shopping clapped out chink shit seems to be your specialty
>>65127725Post WWII Russian machining on guns was pretty good
>>65127914Sometimes we like some guns because we find them interesting and fun
>>65128266>20 years ago I was also there and I do not recall them being that outrageously cheap, I've been shopping guns online for a little over 20 years ago at this point
>>65127923>ok gunits ok>ok gun manufactured in the shittiest, poorest, most retarded commie-bloc country of all timewtf why is it worse?
SKS is russhit garbage. Get a western one from same category, or any of the eastern European copies.
